恭讀聖瑪竇福音 23:23-26

那時候,耶穌對民眾和眾門徒講論說:「禍哉,你們經師和法利塞假善人!因為你們捐獻十分之一的薄荷、茴香和蒔蘿,卻忽視了法律上最重要的公義、仁慈與信義;這些固然該作,那些也不可放過。瞎眼的嚮導!你們濾出蚊蚋,卻吞下了駱駝。
「禍哉,你們經師和法利塞假善人!因為你們洗擦杯盤的外面,裏面卻滿是劫掠與貪慾。瞎眼的法利塞人!你先應清潔杯的裏面,好叫它外面也成為清潔的。」」

—上主的話。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew 23:23-26

23 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you tithe mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law, justice and mercy and faith; these you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. 24 You blind guides, straining out a gnat and swallowing a camel! 25 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you cleanse the outside of the cup and of the plate, but inside they are full of extortion and rapacity. 26 You blind Pharisee! first cleanse the inside of the cup and of the plate, that the outside also may be clean.

—The Gospel of the Lord.
